Now Available: American Giant Midweight Tees

Don't get us wrong, we appreciate the idea of a breathable, summer-friendly T-shirt as much as the next guy. Hell, it's an off-duty essential when temperature and humidity join forces to torture us during the warmer months. But those paper-thin, barely-there offerings that feel like they're made of gossamer cobwebs and currently dominate the market? No, thank you.

Enter American Giant, a San Francisco-based company that believes basics shouldn't be an afterthought (we couldn't agree more). Today, the label released a new line of everyday tees, crafted from 4.8 oz. ring-spun cotton and made start-to-finish on U.S. soil. They're light enough to see you through spring and summer, but sturdy and substantial enough that you can be confident they'll actually, you know, last that long. Those looking for a few go-to casual shirts for the season ahead are advised to stock up.
